The === equality check is a strong check. If something is truthy is does not necessarily equality-check to true.
===
Most everything in JavaScript is truthy. The 8 things that are falsy are:
false
0
""
null
undefined
-0
NaN
document.all
Things that are truthy that occasionally mess people up:var b = new Boolean(false)var a = []var o = {}
var b = new Boolean(false)
var a = []
var o = {}
Thank you for the concept! Wow. It's really concise and simple, yet can give me great bugs if not careful :)
